If I can get to it I'll see if the 2005 GV caliper will fit.....same pads used MDB1690......Nice having better stoppers!

Not a guarantee.....but the carrier and caliper from a 2005 1.6 GV bolt straight onto a Jimny hub.....I only had a vitara disc to try though.....some idiot ordered jimny vents a year or so back as spares and never opened the box.

Crack on and have brakes which don't warp.



Luckily we have a GV to use the "Jimny" discs on!

Keithy, a long PM interchange last night I think has boiled down the true straight bolt on options for gen3 and gen4 Jimnys, lots of learning went on!

Some ordering to do and we will know for sure

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for this brake upgrade, I've wondered if there was a way to do this, does the master cylinder need upgrading
Cheers Neil

Coming together,

Now I have determined the correct parts for the variations of Jimny, parts are on order.

Do the grand vitara front calipers fit on the front of the jimny with the stock 15 inch wheel.

Thanks
